what do the authors recommend doing when c-reactive protein levels are elevated?

statins seem to be especially helpful when CRP levels are elevated.

Also, as noted in recent news articles posted on medjournal.com, exercise has been shown to lower CRP levels. However, this finding was not discussed in the article.
